Imagine your family exploring the universe together, creating lasting memories among the stars. From immersive 3D movies inside our inflatable planetarium to interactive science stations and space-themed activities, families will be amazed at every turn.

Young explorers become Jr. Scientists on a mission through the solar system, traveling from planet to planet with their very own space passport. After completing fun, educational activities at each planetary station, they’ll receive a stamp to mark their journey across the cosmos!

Mission Briefing: Blast Off into the Unknown!

Calling all Junior Astronauts! Prepare for a journey across the stars right here in our gardens. This isn’t just an event; it’s an intergalactic expedition where the wonders of the universe meet the magic of the night.

Grab your official space passport and prepare to navigate the solar system, collecting stamps and cosmic prizes at every planetary stop. Whether you're dodging asteroids or discovering new life forms, your mission is packed with high-energy exploration.

Your Planetary Checkpoints

Every planet offers a new hands-on discovery. Your mission flight path includes:

• Cosmic Creations: Concoct Glow-in-the-Dark Slime, design Solar System Art, and customize your gear at the Space Button Making and Wooden Craft Stations.
• Galactic Adventures: Navigate the Space Bubble Blast, compete in Solar System Games, and witness the raw power of Volcanic Eruptions.
• Alien Encounters: Get up close with "creatures from another world" during our Reptile Encounters and keep an eye out—you might just spot astronauts and aliens

Out-of-This-World Atmosphere

As the sun sets, the gardens transform into a glowing celestial wonderland. Between experiments, you can:

• Refuel: Sample "out of this world" food designed for hungry explorers.
